A couple of weeks ago the kids had a day off from school, so we took them down to a local park. As usual, hilarity ensued.
Getting out of the car.
Sydney: It’s so bright, I can’t see my eyes!
Heh. Hey, wait a minute—I can’t see my eyes either!
Bored.
McKenzie: Things are always more fun when you’re little. I wish things were still fun.
Sigh. Me too.
Pre-teen insecurities.
Tyler: Does this swing make my butt look big?
It kind of did.
On the way home.
Me: So did you have fun at the park, Elise?
Elise: Yeah.
Me: What was your favorite part?
Elise: I don’t know. I think maybe the fat kid swing.*
My kids are so not PC, but they say these things guilelessly.
*While I do not encourage the use of such phrases, in Elise’s defense, it was a rather large bucket seat swing and we were at an elementary school playground, so in her mind 2+2=fat kid swing. I’m thinking perhaps it was a special swing for children with disabilities as it had a seatbelt as well.
